But that was a long time ago, and a long ways from here. Thanks for that gorgeous image...
Thank you for your service and for a great thread. This bike is actually a flat bar road bike I built and put drop bar ends on it. It's an oddball. This coming weekend it is getting gear reassignment surgery. It's getting transformed from a 3x9 to a 1x11 with an 11-40 cassette. This picture was taken on a ride from Mt Crested Butte CO to Cimmaron CO. I live in New Orleans and have found that my soul needs a journey to the wide open spaces of the west every now and then.
